## About the Role

Are you an experienced ATE, Test, or Systems Engineer with a background in radar, RF, avionics, or defense electronics looking for a hands-on role where you can design, integrate, troubleshoot, and sustain advanced test systems?, * Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field

 * Experience in radar, RF, electronics, or test systems engineering
 * Hands-on ATE, hardware-in-the-loop, RF instrumentation, or automated test experience
 * U.S. Citizen with the ability to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance

## Description

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing defense electronics business supporting radar, RF, avionics, and military electronic systems. You'll work across hardware, software, instrumentation, and system interfaces, playing a key role in developing new automated test capabilities while supporting production, depot repair, and legacy system sustainment.
This is not a paper-based engineering role. You'll be hands-on with ATE architecture, COTS instrumentation, automated test software, system bring-up, fault isolation, calibration, and troubleshooting, working across multiple technically challenging programs.
You will be responsible for developing ATE architectures, integrating test instrumentation, supporting automated test software, troubleshooting deployed systems, and driving improvements across active defense programs.
This role would suit an ATE Engineer, Test Engineer, Systems Engineer, or Electronics Engineer with strong experience in automated test, RF/radar systems, or defense electronics.
The Role:

 * Develop and integrate ATE systems for radar, RF, avionics, and electronic assemblies
 * Integrate instrumentation and support automated testing using LabVIEW, TestStand, Python, C#, or similar
 * Troubleshoot hardware, software, and system interfaces across new and legacy test systems
 * Support depot repair, production testing, verification, obsolescence mitigation, and system sustainment
